Formed in 2007 by Scott McCaughey (Young Fresh Fellows, The Minus 5, R.E.M.) and Steve Wynn (The Dream Syndicate,The Miracle 3), the band The Baseball Project began as a way for a couple of super-fans – who just happened to be influential musicians – to pay homage to their favorite sport.

Now, The Baseball Project is a bona-fide super-group, grown to include drummer Linda Pitmon (Zuzu’s Petals) and founding members of R.E.M, bassist Mike Mills and guitarist Peter Buck.

The Baseball Project plays Zanzabar tonight (doors at 8; show at 9 p.m.). The band stopped by our sister station WFPK’s studio today for a performance, and WFPL’s Erin Keane talked baseball and music with the band.
